Two new guides, “Personal Fonds and Collections in State Archives of the Republic of Belarus” and “Archive Business in the Republic of Belarus, 1991-2008” are released by the Belarusian Research Institute of Records Management and Archival Studies (BelNIIDAD).

A multi-archive directory, “Personal Fonds and Collections in State Archives of the Republic of Belarus” offers for the first time information about all fonds and collections of personal papers held in state archives in this country. Personal fonds are grouped by archives and then in alphabetic order. At the end of each section are listed the collections of personal papers if available.

A bibliographic guide, “Archive Business in the Republic of Belarus, 1991-2008” is a systematised list of publications relating to archive business in the Republic of Belarus in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This is intended for archivists, bibliographers, philologists, specialists in culture, and students in the humanities.
